Manchester United - Liverpool betting tips and odds

Manchester United are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 5.60, no punter will dare backing them up against Liverpool. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

Considering the balance of power in this match, it seems that a draw may be the extent of the home team’s ambition. The Reds are at a clear advantage, which is reflected in the 1.63 odds for an away win 1X2 bet.

Man. Utd supporters are hoping that the team will perform better than in the previous round’s away game. They had reasons to feel optimistic about that matchup despite the home-field disadvantage, but their opponents Brentford took an early lead and completely dominated the proceedings, recording a 4:0 victory.

The Reds are keen to make amends for the last round’s disappointment. They conceded early and went trailing on the break. In the second half, the resilient Crystal Palace gave them a run for their money as the game ended in a 1:1 draw.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, The Red devils’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Liverpool met The Red devils several times in the previous season and managed to handily beat them every time. The head-to-head stats are showing multiple consecutive victories with 2 or more goals ahead, so the fact most bookies are expecting an away win is quite understandable.

With Thiago Alcântara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ibrahima Konaté kept from the game due to injuries, the away team is forced to switch things up. They are still considered favourites, but it’s something to keep in mind.

Sadly, we can’t get good value here and still stay cautious. An HT/FT bet for Draw/Away is the best option due to the visitor’s tendency to stumble in the first half.
